ouch! Yea i think i will keep this setup to my 5 mile non highway commute. and in the trunk for rest. it is terribly convenient though! Thanks for hitch link, i may reconsider that route....truthfully i need to pick up a beater truck/jeep for bike hauls. Anyways, i thought id share this as an option for anyone interested since i didn't find anything before i tried it out.
With an extra strap from the top i think it will be "safer", if the suction breaks at least keeps it from hanging off the car but dont know if i have courage to put it on hwy.

Thinking about selling my boofsquire in the next little bit, has a yakima copperhead. I think the seasucker might be a better choice for me.

Also, I don't see why people are flaming. I DD and track my 370z and cycle. Gets annoying putting the bike in the trunk when I can just put it on the trunk.

I would rather just ride the bike 5 miles to the trail.

Actually your right! lol...I usually ride 15-20 miles to the trail, ride the trail for a couple hours and turn around and ride home 15-20! :ugh2:

:iagree: that's the way to go for sure.

ha yea i hear that, and do that sometimes....but i'm trying to set PRs in this mother! need to be fresh.

also if i get home at 6 and it gets dark at 7.....

I actually have a Talon SS and considering the Hornet for its compact size due to traveling. I don't see much of an issue with SeaSucker, been using it for the past 2 yrs now and have never had an accident. Only issue was a couple months ago when 1 suction cup lost 'suction' but the other 2 had no issue doing the job (mind you Talon has 3 suctions cups).

OP is there a reason why you chose the Hornet vs Talon aside from size and price?

Only thing keeping me from selling my old Talon and picking up a Hornet was the use of the 'extra strap'....but now that I see how you implemented it I'm more in favor.
